An expanding company, LCR now provides for your lighting and hardware needs with their newest branch
Facets of Shreveport is a local onestop shop for plumbing, lighting and hardware needs. More widely recognized as LCR-The Plumbing Warehouse, the showroom itself is now known as Facets of Shreveport.
“We’re another facet, if you will, of LCR,” explained team member Holly Donaldson. Facets is a fullscale showroom offering plumbing, lighting, door hardware and cabinet hardware to select for both new construction and remodels.
“Our company is expanding into different facets of the home,” Donaldson said. “Where LCR has always been primarily plumbing, we now offer lighting, door hardware and cabinet hardware, as well as home decor. Throughout our various branches across the state, some locations offer tile and appliances, too.”
“Each one of our sales associates specializes in different areas,” said Donaldson. “While most of us are fluent in the plumbing department, I’m the specialist in new construction and remodels, while Melody is our walk-in tub expert. We each have different
strengths we bring to the table. Kimberly is our primary lighting
specialist, and Caitlyn is able to help with both lighting and
plumbing.”
The
team genuinely loves what they do. “I’m so inspired by these ladies
every single day,” Caitlyn Stevenson said. “I love being a part of
creating a perfect space for my customers’ new homes or remodels.”
Kimberly
Head couldn’t agree more and enjoys getting to know the other side of
the industry. “I love partnering with our fabulous decorators!” Head
said. “We work with so many decorators that have a vision of each and
every project, and that is refreshing.”
“Besides
the incredible people I work with, my favorite part of my job is simply
being a part of the experience. Building a house or remodeling takes a
team effort, and I love the feeling of knowing I’m a small portion of
that team,” said Donaldson.
Each team member brings a personal sense of style and a wealth of knowledge to the showroom.
For
example, Stevenson’s favorite plumbing fixtures are the Purist line
from Kohler in Polish Nickel. She also loves the Savoy House and Capital
Lighting brands in lighting. “No matter how traditional or modern your
taste is, I can find something in either of those companies to make any
customer happy,” Stevenson said.
“Hudson
Valley lighting with their timeless style is my very favorite,” English
said. “Classic details render lighting design that will span
generations.”
“The
Jason Wu faucet from Brizo is my favorite,” Donaldson said. “It’s the
little black dress of plumbing. In lighting, I love everything Mitze.
They’re a little funky and a whole lot of fun!” According to Stevenson,
current trends are black-and-white color schemes with a fun pop of color
in the room. English is seeing a rise in trends of soft gold and mixed
metals in the local area. Head agreed. “They create a comfortable, warm
feeling that ‘matchy-matchy’ just does not create,” Head explained.
Looking
toward the fall and winter, Stevenson expects to see more earth tones
becoming popular. “Leafy greens, relaxing and natural woods, concrete
and mixed metals are where it’s heading,” Stevenson said.
“Gold
is hot, but black is the new neutral,” Head said. “Less is more. Wood
combinations with silver or gold accents are also coming on strong.
We’ve been using black hardware for a while now, but to have the option
of black facets is a home run!” “Matte black plumbing fixtures create a
sculptural piece that is as beautiful as it is functional,” English
said.
“Militaristic
pieces are also on the rise recently. More natural materials, stones
and woods will be making an impact as well,” Donaldson said.
